Bouchard Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Noirots 2021
The Wine
Les Noirots sits in the northern part of the Chambolle-Musigny appellation, on a gentle south-facing slope at 250 to 300 meters in altitude. The soil is compact limestone with silica and clay nodules, encouraging deep roots and perfect ripening. Bouchard makes this cuvée from grapes grown in a small, meticulously tended plot. It’s perfumed and elegant, with aromas of red cherry, rose petals, and a touch of spice, leading to a silky, refined palate. Fine tannins and bright acidity give it a graceful, expressive finish.

About the Wine Maker 
Today the Burgundian wine domaine of Bouchard Pere et Fils can trace its origins back to 1731, though it is no longer family owned. In 1995 the Champagne house Joseph Henriot acquired the company and quality has risen as a consequence. Bouchard is led by Stéphane Follin Arbelet, while the wines are made by Philippe Prost - who has been with the company since 1978. An impressive gravity-flow winery on the Route de Savigny, the Cuvérie St Vincent, was completed in 2005 and enables them to process all their wines with optimum efficiency. Bouchard’s total holdings comprise 130 hectares, including 12ha of grand crus and 74ha of premier crus, which makes them the largest vineyard owners in the Côte d’Or.
